Rethinking the Tennis Racquet

Our returning tennis consultant Rick Leach is a former number-one world-ranked doubles player and winner of 46 ATP Doubles titles and nine grand slams in a pro career that stretched from 1987 to 2005. These days, he instructs current pros Leander Paes and Scott Lipsky. For our test, Leach swung 12 new racquets over a two-month period at the Newport Beach Tennis Club. These are the seven he recommends.
